October is the month that seems
All woven with midsummer dreams;
She brings for us the golden DAYS
That I'LL the air with smoky haze:
She brings for us the lisping br'rzr
And wakes the gosSips in the trees,
Who whisper near the vacant nest
FOrsaken by its feathered guest.
Now half the birds forget to sing
And half of them have taken wing
Before their pathway shall be- lost
Beneath the guSsamrr of frost;
Now one by one the gay leaves fly
Zigzag across the yellow sky;
They rustic here and luttcr there,
Until the bough hangs chill and bare.
What joy for us-what happiness
Shall cheer the day, the night shall bless: :
T is HallOw-e'r u, the very last
Shall keep for us remembrance fast,
When every child shall duck the head
To find the precious pippin red
